Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Since this study was an onset in regards to epidemiological analysis of COVID-19 patients in Bangladesh, it was prone to some limitations. Firstly, the study sample only included inpatients from 6 selected hospitals providing aid to COVID-19 cases in Bangladesh which narrows down the sample size and diversification in results. Secondly, since the data were collected over the telephone there may be possibilities of information bias, interviewer bias as well as recall bias. Finally, commenting on an individual’s health status and complications post COVID-19 depending on a four-week recovery period is prompt. Nevertheless, this study aimed to observe the early post-COVID-19 health complications. To date this is the most comprehensive study conducted in Bangladesh that assessed COVID-19 patients for both pre-recovery and post-recovery complications. Our data have reconfirmed some significant global observations in regards to the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the disease, but above all, the study has helped in addressing concerns that raised eyebrows including the role of ABO blood group and BCG vaccination in COVID-19 susceptibility and progression. We anticipate that the outcomes of this study will work as a baseline for future studies in the same context.
Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
